The Spa Hotel

Overview

Peaceful and welcoming.. friendly staff but allowed us plenty of privacy. Our meals were well presented and extremely delicious. The lamb perfectly pink. The white wines were so crisp and easily disappeared while we ate and talked the night away. A pleasure to all the senses.

Set in tranquil grounds on the edge of Royal Tunbridge Wells, The Spa Hotel offers diners a selection of gourmet dining options. Enjoy 2 AA Rosette-awarded British cuisine in The Chandelier Restaurant, or indulge in classic afternoon teas in the plush Lobby.

The Spa Hotel menu celebrates wholesome British flavours, all made with carefully sourced ingredients. To start, there is traditional cock-a-leekie soup, as well as game treats like the pheasant terrine with toasted brioche. For mains, try the Surrey Hills Farm rib-eye steak, or the vegetarian pumpkin arancini with goats' cheese, with side dishes including purple sprouting broccoli.

Exotic desserts at The Spa Hotel in Tunbridge Wells include caramelised pineapple with coconut sorbet, while the afternoon tea menu packs in a great selection of handmade cakes and pastries, along with a comprehensive wine list.

A luxurious slice of traditional British dining, The Spa Hotel is a 3-minute drive from Tunbridge Wells West Rail Station.

Booking on line was so easy. The venue is stunning, the staff very were helpful and polite. The table was set out so beautifully, the food was well presented and delicious (we had a cream tea) the only thing that let it down for me was the cake selection - the apple filled with mousse looked great but didnt taste very nice, i would have prefered traditional cakes like victoria sponge etc.

Overall good however we were served in the orangery rather than reception area which is micer as the orangery lacks atmosphere and is too personal when there are only a few people in the room. Not sure wjy we were not served in reception area. Took a good 15 mins after our arrival to get seeved as well. However tea, sandwiches and cakes were all deliciois and enjoyable. Would have liked a bigger teapot but it was refilled when required so not sn issue

Polite and attentive staff and a lovely ambience. However the starter I chose was smoked haddock, poached egg and hollandaise sauce. There was a minimal amount of haddock but lashings of spinach, which was not mentioned on the menu. I like spinach in moderation but not when it is 90% of the meal so most of the starter was wasted after I managed to find about 5 flakes of haddock.The roast beef etc was excellent in taste and texture but was spoilt by the horrible gravy that had been poured over everything. I guess the chef likes to use the juices from the meat in the gravy but if the meat has a lot of fat around it you end up with fatty gravy that is rather sickly. My wife had the roast lamb and the gravy accompanying it suffered the same malaise. In fact you could see the fat in the gravy separating from the rest of the gravy as it cooled on the plate. Such a shame as the food underneath the gravy was first class but made sickly by the gravy.

We enjoyed a great meal and evening. It was terrific to find a good restaurant open on a Sunday evening for a celebration. The bar however was quite cold and drafty

Really lovely place - great food, great atmosphere, great service. Favourite part was the Eton mess, kept simple and classy. The restaurant does not feel shy with seasoning, and everyone at the table hugely enjoyed the powerful flavour packed into every bite.
